I would do it if it were legal.

As a libertarian who tends to get along really well with socialists, it boils my blood that living in one’s car is illegal. There is absolutely no reason reason for that law other than “fuck poor people”.

Poor people are an inconvenience. They often don't produce anything of value, and they aren't consumers on a large enough scale to be worthwhile. So they should be banned.

I'm sure some 1% type has said this at sometime.
